Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cartridge for a flow mixer and a mixer for two liquid flows at different temperatures, particularly though not exclusively for thermostatic mixing of water in a shower.
  • thermostatic capsule to move a shuttle to open or close small gaps on either side of the shuttle. It is convenient for this shuttle to be circular with the gaps being annular, but this gives rise to other problems.
  • the inlet to the annular gaps is conveniently radially inwards, with mixed flow then passing axially to the thermostatic capsule.
  • This arrangement calls for flow regulation downstream of the capsule and on the side of the capsule opposite from flow and temperature controls. Conventionally, the flow control has been carried out by means of a member spaced radially outwards of the shuttle. This mitigates against a compact structure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement wherein a flow control member passes inwardly of the shuttle to provide a more compact structure.
  • a secondary object is to provide a more compact inlet flow arrangement.
  • a cartridge for a flow mixer comprising:
  • thermostatic capsule arranged within the barrel in the flow of liquid through the inlets and adapted to control the position of the shuttle for selection of flow from the two inlets
  • thermocontrol • a combined-flow control member (“flow controller") arranged downstream of the thermostatic capsule at the outlet end of the barrel for controlling the combined flow from the inlets and
  • the flow controller can have various forms, such as a movable obturator closing an open end of the barrel forming the outlet or an apertured cylinder closing one or more outlet apertures in the barrel at the outlet end with the end being closed; in the preferred embodiment, the flow controller is a sleeve mounted in the barrel and sealing in its closed position against a closed end of the barrel, thereby closing an outlet aperture in the wall of the barrel adjacent its end.
  • the flow control sleeve seals against a seal captivated between the sleeve and the end of the barrel.
  • the shuttle can be envisaged to be of unitary construction with the inlets being apertures in the aligned portions.
  • the two aligned barrel portions are distinct parts which are sealed together, with the intermediate barrel portion being integrally connected to one of the two barrel portions, with the shuttle acting between opposed ends of the two portions.
  • the actuating means for the flow controller can be an integral part of the flow controller, such as one or more fingers integrally moulded with the flow controller and engaging an actuator at the opposite side of the shuttle from the flow controller and the thermostatic capsule, or it can be one or more fingers extending integrally extending from the actuator and engaging the flow controller. It can also be envisaged that the actuating means can be separately formed and engaged with both the flow controller and the actuator.
  • the actuator is conveniently a sleeve splined or otherwise irrotationally held in the barrel and a rotary member carried by the barrel, the sleeve and the rotary member being adapted to convert rotation of the rotary member into translation of the actuator and the flow controller.
  • the actuator could be sealed to the barrel and to the rotary member at the rotary motion converter, a more practical arrangement is to seal the barrel to the rotary member which will usually extend inside the actuator.
  • a similar rotary to translational movement arrangement for effecting temperature regulation with the thermostatic capsule is preferably provided within the flow control actuator/rotary-member assembly.
  • the cartridge is of moulded plastics components, with the exception of the thermostatic capsule, associated springs, seals and other fittings.
  • the shuttle has an O-ring carried on a rim of the shuttle and acting with the intermediate barrel portion to provide the seal between the shuttle and the intermediate barrel portion.
  • the shuttle has an over-moulding of elastomeric material on a rim of the shuttle, the over-moulding having a sealing protrusion acting with the intermediate barrel portion to provide the seal between the shuttle and/or the intermediate barrel portion and annular portions at sealing faces adapted to co-operate with the aligned barrel portions to close the respective inlets.
  • the over-moulding having a sealing protrusion acting with the intermediate barrel portion to provide the seal between the shuttle and/or the intermediate barrel portion and annular portions at sealing faces adapted to co-operate with the aligned barrel portions to close the respective inlets.
  • the cartridge includes three outer seals encircling the axis of the barrel for sealing to an outer body, the seals comprising:
  • a front seal for sealing the inlet further from the outlet from leaking to ambient; and • an oblique seal for sealing the inlet closer to the outlet from the inlet further from the outlet, the oblique seal being spaced further from the back seal to one side of the barrel and spaced further from the front seal to the other side of the barrel.
  • the oblique seal allows opposed waterways to the cartridge can be coaxial.
  • the seals are arranged to seal with a conical bore.
  • the seals are O-rings carried in respective grooves on the outer surface of the cartridge.
  • the barrel has an outer collar integrally connected with the aligned barrel portion having the outlet, the collar having:
  • the outer collar can be separate and sealed to the barrel or one of its parts, in the preferred embodiment, the outer collar is integral with one part of the barrel.
  • the collar inlets communicate with the barrel inlets via plenum chambers extending around the barrel.
  • a cartridge for a flow mixer comprising:
  • thermostatic capsule arranged within the barrel in the flow of liquid through the inlets and adapted to control the position of the shuttle for selection of flow from the two inlets
  • thermocontrol • a combined-flow control member (“flow controller") arranged downstream of the thermostatic capsule at the outlet end of the barrel for controlling the combined flow from the inlets and
  • an oblique seal for sealing the inlet closer to the outlet from the inlet further from the outlet, the oblique seal being spaced further from the back seal to one side of the barrel and spaced further from the front seal to the other side of the barrel.
  • a mixer tap for mixing two liquid flows comprising: • an outer body, having a central cavity with
  • the outer body is of forged brass.
  • the cavity is tapered with an larger diameter parallel land at the open front for the first seal, a frusto-conical, intermediate portion for the second, oblique seal and a smaller parallel land for the third seal adjacent the rear outlet, the seals being O-rings carried on the outer collar.
  • a shuttle for a flow mixer cartridge comprising a rim with two annular end faces for sealing with respective aligned barrel portions of the cartridge, the annular end faces being provided with an over-moulding of elastomeric material for sealing engagement with the respective aligned barrel portions.
  • the rim can have a groove for an O-ring arranged to seal to an intermediate barrel portion of the cartridge; preferably the over-moulding has a sealing protrusion arranged to seal to an intermediate barrel portion of the cartridge.

  • the cavity has a frusto-conical wall 216.
  • the groove 16 and its O-ring 116 have a complementary, oblique shape.
  • the collar has a cold water port 22; whilst to the other side between the back groove 17 and the oblique groove 16, the collar has a hot water port 23.
  • These ports are in communication with the cold and hot water connections 2,3 in the body, via inlet plena portions 122,123 of the cavity between the body and the collar.
  • the connections are able to be axially aligned with each other, since the ports 22,23 are offset and isolated from each other by the oblique seal.
  • the inlet pipe connections can be formed by straight forward machining operations.
  • the collar 14 is an injection moulding of plastics material and is integrally moulded with an rear barrel portion 31, the collar being generally frusto-conical to match the shape of the body cavity; whilst the barrel portion is parallel with an end face 131.
  • the collar moulding has a closed end 32, closing both the collar and the barrel.
  • a front barrel moulding 41 is fitted to the rear-barrel/collar moulding 14/31, mating with it at a flange 35, adjoining the sealing groove 15, and at an inner sealing land 36.
  • a flange 42 of the front barrel moulding abuts the flange 35 and the two are held together by a threaded ring 7 in the body 1 at the mouth of the cavity 12.
  • An O- ring 43 is captive between the flanges and seals them.

  • the rim flange 51 of a shuttle 52 is positioned between the faces 131,144, with a small clearance.
  • the front barrel extends back as a sealing groove 45 past the end face 144 and is provided with an O-ring 145, which seals on a land 245 of the collar 14, the land forming an intermediate portion of the barrel.
  • the seal 45/145/245 divides the internal space of the collar into inner, cold and hot, plena portions
  • the shuttle itself is apertured 53, so that flow can pass it from the front barrel 44 to the rear barrel 31 and onto the outlet port 34.
  • the shuttle is fitted to a thermostatic capsule 61, which has an expansive wax chamber 62, a support flange 63 and an actuating push rod 64, which is pushed out of the capsule in response to the wax chamber experiencing increased temperature.
  • This action adjusts the cold and hot gaps 322,323. Since it is possible for a sudden increase in temperature, as in first use of a shower when hot water first arrives, to extend the push rod by more than the aggregate of the gaps, the connection between the shuttle and the capsule is via a spring reactor 71.
  • abutments 54,72 which are arranged to allow the capsule to move back in the cartridge on such over temperature causing the shuttle to bottom on the rear barrel end face 131.
  • This movement apart of the abutments is against the action of a spring 73 acting between the abutment 54 and a clip 74 on a forwards extension 75 of the reactor.
  • the spring normally keeps the abutments 54,72 together, whereby the movement of the support flange 63 of the capsule is transmitted to the shuttle via a seat 76 for the support flange.
  • the spring reactor 71 also has a rearwards extension 77, which is apertured 78 for water flow to the wax chamber 62, with a flange 79 for a main spring 80 against which the capsule normally acts for adjustment of the position of the shuttle.
  • the spring reacts against a sealing washer 83 and the closed end 32 of the collar moulding.
  • a flow controller 81 is provided within the rear barrel. It is in the form of a sleeve carrying two O-rings 181 for sealing with the rear barrel and having an end face 82 for abutment with the sealing washer 83 carried inside the closed end 32 of the collar moulding.
  • the sleeve has integral fingers 84, which extend forwards through certain of the apertures 53 in the shuttle. Rearwards movement of the flow controller throttles and ultimately closes the tap by isolating the inner, outlet plenum portion 234 of the cartridge, in which the wax chamber 62 is positioned, from the outer, plenum portion 134 of the cavity 14. More specifically, the sleeve end face 82 abuts the sealing washer 83 and isolates the outlet port 34 from the inlet ports 22,23.
